Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Pull out a large saucepan, a medium saucepan, a sieve, a grater & a measuring jug

Get started

Dice the pepper into 1cm chunks. Zest and halve the lime. Finely grate the ginger
Heat the large saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and cook for 4-5 mins, until softening. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer the laksa

Stir in the Thai red paste, lemongrass puree, ginger and lime zest. Cook for 1 min, until fragrant, then stir in the creamed coconut, stock powder and 500ml water (250ml for 1 person), until dissolved
Slice the chicken into 1cm strips, then add to the laksa and simmer for 10 mins, until the chicken is cooked through

Cook the noodles

Meanwhile, bring the medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Finishing touches

Trim and thinly slice the pak choi. Roughly chop the coriander
In the final 3 mins of cooking, add the mangetout and pak choi to the laksa and simmer until tender. Squeeze in the juice from half the lime and season to taste

Plate up

Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
Share the noodles between bowls, then pour over the chicken laksa. Garnish with the coriander and the remaining lime, cut into wedges
